This week, Podtoid was initially supposed to talk about stuff like Mirror's Edge 2 and random news stories, but we got sidetracked discussing Psychonauts and the original Half-Life. Whether this makes the show better or worse is up to you.
You can listen here, as usual, or subscribe to us on iTunes. Highlights include:
- Even when Samit says nothing of sports, he is crucified
- Evidently, Prototype is way better than inFAMOUS
- Why didn't you save us, Milla
- The cast discusses Half-Life for a while -- if you're still playing the Podtoid drinking game, you'll be dead before we reach the mid-show break
- Other worlds than these
- Hot New GrafiX, with a capital X
This week's most interesting question came from wanderingpixel. Send an email to podtoid@destructoid.com, Mr. Pixel, and we'll send some swag your way.

It being whenever Ant says "Fair enough"?
...better yet, Schaffantastic!
I disagree 100%. I think it's entirely the fault of the developers/publishers of the game. It's not Destructoid's job to convince people to buy certain games, and it's not our job to buy games if we don't want to buy them. I have no obligation to make sure someone's game does well. It's the responsibility of the people selling the product to convince me to buy it. If they aren't able to gain my attention through their marketing of their product, that's not my problem. I have no obligation to pay attention to their game, they have win over my interest.
It would be like blaming John McCain's loss on everyone who didn't vote for him. I don't think that McCain would have necessarily been a bad president, but it's not up to me to get him elected. It's up to him to convince people that he would be a good president, and if he's unable to do that then it isn't our fault for not being convinced.
